"You get, what you pay for"

6.0

Breakfast was very nice- freshly prepared fried egg & toast. Location 15 min away from train station

Very simple standard room, toilet and sink in room, very basic mattress & extremely thick duvet.

"Perfect for short or "transit" stay"

7.0

I was travelling to go see a music show and this place was ideal for my stay. Modest but efficient. The city centre is about 10 mins walk away so that's useful. Friendly and accommodating staff. Breakfast is included in the price. Would recommend for short stays.

As the place is a bit remote and everything is shut at a certain hour at night, I had to take a cab home but it's not really related to the place per se. Breakfast hours could be a bit more extended (ended at 8:30).

"Disappointing"

4.0

Friendly staff. Clean sheets.

There was too much light in the room, and road noise making it hard to get to sleep. It was cold with no obvious way to turn on the heating. The bathroom was very basic.

"Very very cold in room"

5.0

So it was budget but I knew that going in. Sadly I had a terrible night sleep. Although the bed was reasonably comfortable, the room was freezing. Turns out they turn off the heating system at 9pm for the whole night. It was icy cold and the duvet is very thin. I'm afraid for a tiny bit more money I could have just booked a Travelodge which I will next time.

"Cheap and cheerful"

5.0

The staff were very friendly, the accommodations was ok. For the price it was ok, I would stay again, but would look for room with its own bathroom

did not help that I was moved out of my room half way into the night ( I was not even there to move, the staff moved my stuff to another room.) The shared toilet and bathroom were not nice, would look for room with its own bathroom next time.
